My Story

I am taking part in Blackmores Sydney Running Festival 2017 to raise much needed funds for Sydney Children's Hospital Foundation. This is my first (and possibly last!) half marathon. It is going to be a busy few months getting fit to get around the course, so your donations will encourage me to get up and out there on the cold, dark winter mornings!

Sydney Children’s Hospital Foundation is a charitable organisation that exists to fund groundbreaking research and everyday clinical care at Sydney Children’s Hospital, Randwick.

Our vision is to ensure that every child now and in the future can access world-class medical care whenever they need it.

The Foundation funds the vital clinical care that these children need now, so they have the best possible treatment and Hospital experience. We also invest in research that will change and save more lives in the future. By discovering better ways to diagnose, treat or prevent childhood disease and injuries, we also help generations of children to come.

Our success is only possible because of the ongoing generous support of the community, our partners, Hospital staff, patients and their families. We will always depend on the goodwill of the community to achieve our purpose.

Our goals

- Research for tomorrow

- Clinical care for today

- Fundraising to make a difference

- People who make it happen
